Who needs backstory? Who needs resource-gathering? Diplomacy is so
last year. Gratuitous Space Battles cuts right to the chase of sci-fi
strategy games, and deals with large, completely unjustified space
battles between huge opposing space fleets.
Gratuitous Space Battles combines the visual appeal of an RTS, with
the addictive unit-placement and design gameplay from tower defense
games. In GSB, the player does not control individual ships at all
during battle. The ships fight to a pre-determined set of orders and
formations given to them by you before the battles.
GSB casts you as supreme space admiral, tasked with the design of
individual spaceships, and the composition of your fleet, as well as
general orders of engagement. This is not a twitch-based real time
arcade game like many an RTS, but a game of careful thought, planning
and big-picture strategy. Huge space battles can be won or lost
depending on just how cleverly you balanced the needs of defensive
shielding and armor against the expensive punch of laser cannons and
plasma torpedoes.
GSB also features an innovative multiplayer challenge system. You can
upload your ultimate fleet to serve as the enemy to other players, and
keep track of how many other players have won and lost against your
challenge. That way, you will never run out of cunningly designed
enemies to battle against!
4 different unlockable player races
Over 40 different ship hulls
Over 120 spaceship modules
Choice of skirmish vs AI, never-ending survival mode or play against
